Celebrating Student Success
We’re thrilled to share a special message from Chancellor Donde Plowman celebrating Dr. Amber Williams, Vice Provost for Student Success, and a transformative moment for the division, the University of Tennessee and student scholars. This recognition highlights years of tireless work to reimagine student support and create opportunities for every Volunteer to thrive.
We’re also excited to highlight the future of Student Success, as UT leaders recently broke ground on the new Student Success Building—a future hub designed to connect students with the resources they need to thrive academically and prepare for life after college. This state-of-the-art facility will bring together key services in one location to support student retention, achievement, and career readiness.
